Day 45

  • Chris Jericho's schedule went a little wonky today.  No Saturday Night Special tonight -- will be back next week.  He sends his regards.
  • I'm not sure if I posted last week's, so here it is:

  • Olbermann:

  • Scary news from LA earlier in the week as Vin Scully took a fall and was hospitalized.
  • Great news tonight, though!!!

  • Another piece of good news:  The NFL Draft was this weekend -- and much of it was turned into a three-day telethon for various COVID-19 relief chartities.  At the end of the Draft, Roger Goodell (who WAS virtually booed at his first appearance on the show -- ha ha!!) announced that private and NFL Family contributions to COVID-19 relief charities had already exceeded $100,000,000.
  • Perhaps the fact that the NFL Draft was the first meaningful sporting event in weeks led the NFL Draft to record viewership.  Over 15,600,000 people watched Round 1 on the ESPN family of networks.  Even 8,200,000 watched Round 2 and 3 Friday night!  (Sports Media Watch)
